Good phone for the money!! [Posted on 2008-03-12]
Great cordless phone!! No problems so far and the range is great, even when I walk outside and close the door. People come across very clear and crisp. The 20 name phone directory is great and easy to use. The battery life is good for what I use it for. I guess my only complaint is that I wish the ringer was a tad louder but thats probably a personal preference. Overall, for the money, I highly recommend this phone.

Fair Phone, Great Price [Posted on 2008-03-16]
Well, after looking for a cordless after my GE cordless bit the dust, I started looking for a good decent cordless phone. I never realized it would be such a journey to find a good one. The phones today look terrible. Who designs them, turtles? I saw yellow phones with green, pumpkin color phones, white phones backlit with orange, black phones backlit with milky white and blue lettering? Yuk! Uniden phones looked like a 70s flashback of Tandy. Most of the phones are awful looking. I finally found one in silver which goes with all the silver stuff in my house, this one. I took for granted there is no mute button. If there is a mute button PLEASE write it on here because I went through the instructions, nothing about mute. I can barely see mute listed in the window but no mute button. Called Vtech and the girl said she didn't know, asked someone else who didn't know and I thought, THEY don't know, how in hades am I supposed to know if they don't know? So anyone find it, let me know! Second, the beeping buttons! Everything beeps. Beep here, beep there, beep, beep, beep! You can't turn off the loud beeping noise of every button you push. At least I haven't found it as it wasn't in the instructions and you guessed it, the girl at vtech didn't know either but she thought probably the beeping noises can't be turned off. If you find out it can, again post it here please! If you use the phone at night and others are sleeping, you might avoid this one because the beeps are loud. So loud that a guest staying with me in the next room said she could hear the beeps and wondered what it was. To me, it is rather juvenile to have beeping buttons. I just want a quiet phone that only makes noise when someone is calling. The good about this phone is the sound is clear and good. It looks really good, the buttons do light up, and it is very cheap in price, but don't expect wonders for a 20 dollar phone. As someone mentioned, the ringer is about the only thing not loud on this phone. Also, you probably wouldn't want to step more than 20 feet away from the base unit to have clear sound. All in all, a fair phone.

Update: After having this phone now for several weeks, I have to say it still works good and I am getting used to the beeping buttons, but still wished they would add the option to cut the noises off. I would also add that the reception is pretty good, for me at least.

clear phone. easy to use. great price so i guess that i really cannot complain too much that there is no speakerphone.

Great phone [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I bought this phone for my daughter who has a cochlear implant and she can hear quite well using it. The reason we chose VTech is our past experience with a VTech phone and that is it analog which is better for people who have a cochlear implant.

Good phone for bad ears [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I have moderate hearing loss and wear behind the ear hearing aids. Because of the superior voice quality, this analog phone works far better for me than any of the several digital ones I have tried, even the much more expensive ones designed for the hard of hearing with extra volume boost and tone options.
